Foreword
We have combined the last issues of
"The Bruin" and have made a Book of
Memories of our high school days. Due to
the lack of finances, we have omitted our
"Last Will and Testament.'" But we DO
leave to the lower classes our sincerest hope
that they will not have to graduate during a
"depression."
—The Class of '32.

Class History
We entered New Bern High School in the fall of 1928 ninety-one strong. As the
proverbial freshmen we were awed by the grim upper classmen. In need of expert guid-
ance we elected Albert Salem our class president. The high light of the year was the
trip to Raleigh.
Next year we came back, proud Sophomores, arrogant and condescending toward the
freshmen, but humble enough to the juniors and seniors. This year we elected Oscar
Brinson as our president. We wound the year up by giving the sophisticated seniors a
delightful picnic.
Returning again in the fall we found ourselves Juniors. Reelecting Oscar Brinson
as our president, we set out to face the perils of another year, the largest of which was
the Junior-Senior banquet. We gave a highly successful play, "Circumstances Alter
Cases," to help defray the cost of the banquet. On May the 8th we entertained the
seniors at the traditional affair and wished them success in their future life.
At last : Sophisticated Seniors. After struggling ten years towards the goal, we
reached it. Electing Albert Salem president we set out to wind up our career in a blaze
of glory. The class presented "The Full House," a three-act play which was a huge suc-
cess. This year we were entertained by the juniors at a delightful banquet. The gradua-
tion exercises being held, seventy-one of us will set forth to face the perils of the world.

Class Prophecy
Not long ago I received from Mildred Carpenter, President of the Alumni Association, an announce-
ment of an alumni meeting of the Class of '32. The announcement stated that the meeting was to
be an informal reunion in the newly erected "Stevenson Memorial," a fine structure recently endowed
by our former classmate, Eleanor Stevenson who, after playing professional basketball for two years,
made several million dollars and remembered her home town in such an outstanding manner.
After receiving this announcement I grew excited over the prospect of seeing all my old cronies
and how the years had changed them. I called my still faithful side kick, Lutrelle LaFrage, who al-
though she is now thriving on an enormous fortune left her by an uncle in Australia, and is con-
stantly surrounded by suitors, stoops to honor me with her presence. She was enthusiastic over going
also and when the night finally arrived she came by for me in her long, slinky Dusenberg.
As we approached the "Stevenson Memorial," I saw a crowd of people standing out in front of the
gigantic edifice. "When we reached the group, we recognized many of our old friends: Rosalie Dixon,
who won the world chewing gum title, was there with Elizabeth Armstrong, who is now married to the
president of the Norfolk Southern Railway Company. We stopped and spoke to them and then entered
the building. The auditorium into which we were ushered was massive and was lit from end to end
with lights, brightly glowing. There was a microphone on the stage and we saw none other than
Albert Salem, business manager of Westinghouse Corporation, presiding over it. After many efforts
he finally quelled the mob and then gave a short speech of welcome. He then proceeded to tell us a
few things about our various classmates who were unable to be there.
Joseph Rachide, owner of the Inter-National Army and Navy Chain Stores, was attending a buyers
convention in Paris and consequently could not get there. Ida Smith was on her honeymoon trip
around the world and, of course, she didn't even want to be present.
Just at that time there was loud commotion in the hallway and we turned to see the reason
for the disturbance. Nettie Pinnix swept into the room, attired in the latest Parisian fashions, followed
by her pet Pekinese and her husband, the Count De Ceit (incidentally he was formerly Dick Duffy).
Amid much bustling they were finally seated and the excitement gradually subsided. However there were
more surprises for us. Albert Salem announced that we were to hear from Kate Smith Sutton (Eleanor
Sutton), the "Songbird" of the Southeast, and a brilliant radio star. We always knew Eleanor could
play a piano, but she held out on us as far as "warbling" was concerned.
Mr. Salem, after the singing was over, informed us that we were to vote for officers for the Asso-
ciation. Immediately Ernest "Wood, candidate for Governor, was nominated for President; Herman
Hardison, author of Spelrite Dictionary, was put up against him. Now followed the nomination of
Woodrow Tingle, prominent farmer of near New Bern, for Vice-President, with Dan Wiggs, a big-shot
from Chicago, against him. "Willard Turnage, now an executive in the Western Onion Service Cor-
poration, ran against Lula "Whitford, "Queen of the Taxis," for Treasurer. After the voting we con-
gratulated the new officers, who were: Ernest "Wood, President; Woodrow Tingle, Vice-President; Lula
Whitford, Secretary and Treasurer.
The business part was then over, so the remainder of the time was spent in chatting with our old
friends. We learned that Macie Wade and Sybil Belangia were running a millinery shop in New York
City, and Emma Pugh and Laura Dickinson are mannequins for the huge department store run by
Clesson Moore, "Moore & Moore."
William Henry Scott has become a millionaire since he opened up the Rhems-to-New Bern Limited

Class Poem
Shoulder to shoulder, hearts filled with devotion,
With purpose not aimless, but earnest and true,
United by all of the ties of deep friendship,
We bring, New Bern High, our homage to you.
We'll stand by you loyally, long and unending,
Loyalty which will be firm, will be sure;
Devotion we pledge you which never can perish,
And love which through all coming time will endure.
In all that we do, we shall never forget you;
Each member will strive to gain honor, gain fame,
Not merely to satisfy selfish ambitions,
But to add honor to your beloved name.
Ever beside us to lead t'ward the highest,
Ever beside us to lead t'ward the right,
You, in the years now dim in the distance,
Will be, New Bern High, our clear guiding light;
And with courage undaunted, we'll march ever onward
Up the heights to be won, along paths strange and new.
For honor, devotion, love, friendship and wisdom
We will, New Bern High, be indebted to you.
— Joyce Fulcher.
GOOD-BYE
Good-bye to the good ole times we've had,
And to all things that we've been a part;
They will linger as something beautiful,
Forever in the depths of our heart.
Listen! Do you hear that last bell ring?
Do you hear what it seems to say?
"I brought you to school as kids long ago,
But now — / must send you away."
— Matilda Scales.
